Acrylic
Acrylic Background
Next to wood, acrylic is the most popular material to use with laser systems. It
engraves and cuts very easily, comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and can be
relatively inexpensive.
Acrylic comes in two forms, Cast and Extruded. Cast Acrylic is used for almost all
engraving purposes because the frost produced when lasered provides a nice white
contrast against the clear material. Extruded acrylic remains clear when engraved and
does not produce an adequate contrast.
